I am trying to get my tivo to connect using the wifi at the hotel I am at and it wont work. My laptop and my iphone work just fine on their wifi. I am able to program it to the wifi it offers here but when i hit the "connect to service now" it keeps giving me an error. I think its because there is a "connect page" i have to hit the agree button on. I tried connecting my laptop to the tivo and still got the same error message. It says "failed while negotiation". If I use my laptop do I need a router between the laptop and tivo or can I connected them both together and share the laptop internet?
any advice?

I have a TiVo Premiere with a TiVo AG0100 Wireless Adapter and my laptop is using windows 8

Also I dont want to talk about my personal life so please do not mention slingbox

You need a travel router that lets you share a single connection to the hotel's WiFi. You connect first using a tablet or laptop, go through the authorization page, and after that you can connect other devices such as your TiVo. There are many, many choices. I have a couple from D-Link (DIR-505 and DIR-506L) that work well enough, Asus has some, there are others.

It might be possible to connect to the wireless with the laptop and deal with the authorization then share the connection. In essence, the laptop acts as a router and the Tivo wireless connects to it. Or connect the Tivo to the laptop with an Ethernet cable (it might have to be a crossover cable though).

I just got my netgear wgr614 today and now the tivo error is saying "please make sure your firewall is not set to block UDP ports 37 or 123 or TCP ports 37, 80, 443, 5005, 5222, 5233,7287, 7288, 8000, or 8080-8089
